Marriage in the UK?

Question

My fiance lives in the UK, I am a US citizen, he wants to get married in the UK.. what do I need to do? Is that possible if I am not a citizen? Do we need to get a different license? Any help greatly appreciated all the information I've found doesnt apply to US citizen marrying a citizen of the UK.

Answer 1

You have to apply for a marriage license in the US or US Embassy in the UK and for your fiancee to apply for a marriage license in UK so that you will be sure that your marriage will be valid under UK and US laws.

Answer 2

are you an US citizen ? you first said you are ?

#Is that possible if I am not a citizen # of the UK you mean ?

Do I Need A UK Visa

  



You asked if a national of United States needs a visa to come to the UK for a marriage visit.

Yes, you need a 'visit for marriage', or a 'visit for civil partnership' visa. This visa will allow you to visit the UK to get married, or register a civil partnership. You must leave the UK at the end of your visit. If you want to marry, or register a civil partnership, and settle in the UK, you need to apply for a fiancé(e), or proposed civil partner visa.

Please read Guidance - Visitors for more information. Your sponsor, if you have one, may want to read Guidance - Sponsors.
